| :You'd be amazed at how often networks will have inaccurate information about their own shows. It's really quite amazing. As for my opinion, two different production codes means two separate episodes, as opposed to '']'', which also had a double-length pilot but had only a singular production code. Combining the episodes into one will create a godawful mess with having to list two production codes for one episode and also with the writing credits being as divided as they are. Leave as is. ] (]) 03:23, 6 October 2011 (UTC) | :You'd be amazed at how often networks will have inaccurate information about their own shows. It's really quite amazing.

| ::*Well, they list the first 2 as one episode in 2 parts. I actually noticed it the other night when my Comcast guide showed the episode on 10/3/11 was S1, E2. Really, I can't see how we can give a source like Futon Critic the nod over the company who actually decides this stuff (ie Fox). ] (]) 03:27, 6 October 2011 (UTC) | ::*Well, they list the first 2 as one episode in 2 parts.

| :::I don't think Fox and The Futon Critic disagree here. The Futon Critic reproduces press releases and the Fox press release says "The "Genesis" two-hour series premiere episode of TERRA NOVA airsMonday, Sept. 26". "Episode", not "episodes" is used. It's not correct to assume that two production numbers means two episodes. Studios often assign different production codes to different parts and then, as they've done with this series, air the two parts as a single episode with one set of credits. --] (]) 04:49, 6 October 2011 (UTC) | |||

Number of episodes
Fox, who knows more about their own show than the Futon Critic does, says that the pilot was 1 episode in 2 parts and that "Instinct" was episode 2. . Someone else can fix this article or I can. Niteshift36 (talk) 03:11, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
- You'd be amazed at how often networks will have inaccurate information about their own shows. It's really quite amazing. As for my opinion, two different production codes means two separate episodes, as opposed to Fringe, which also had a double-length pilot but had only a singular production code. Combining the episodes into one will create a godawful mess with having to list two production codes for one episode and also with the writing credits being as divided as they are. Leave as is.
